Imposed displacement

[HoshangMustafa]

Hi Please find the attached file. I tried to model the imposed displacement but the only available is imposed displacement on support. How should I model the displacement?

[Artur.Kosakowski]

1. Define a support in the node you want to move and apply the displacement of the support

2. Calculate the model and check the reactions in this support

3. Delete the support and replace reactions with the equivalent loads (the same values with the opposite signs)

Hi Artur

I defined a support, rotated it and applied the displacement, but it looked like the attached file and not along the local x coordinate of the support. What should I do?

[Artur.Kosakowski]

Robot is currently not able to display the imposed displacement load symbol in the direction of local axis of the rotated support. The symbols are shown in the global coordinate system but the actual load is defined in the local one as shown on the attached picture.
